"What is a minimalist life? It's one that is stripped of the unnecessary, to make room for that which gives you joy. It's a removal of clutter in all its forms, leaving you with peace and freedom and lightness. A minimalist values quality, not quantity, in all forms." So writes Leo Babauta, the creator of
Zen Habits and author of
The Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life. A joy to read, this little book will help you clear out clutter, be content with less, and simplify your life - with tips on everything from creating a minimalist workspace to going paperless. In short, it will help you enjoy a simpler, happier life!

With easy-to-follow techniques on each chapter to help you get immediate results - even if you have tried all the budgeting books out there without getting significant results, have a very busy lifestyle, or have never tried minimalism or mindfulness before, you can experience freedom from mental clutter, fix your financial situation, and improve your life overall with this bundle on minimalist living.

Minimalism is the thing that gets us past the things that clutter our lives so we can make room for life's most important things - which actually aren't things at all. At age 30, best friends Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus walked away from their six-figure corporate careers, jettisoned most of their material possessions, and started focusing on what's truly important.

We are often on a quest for more, giving in to pressure every day to work more, own more, and do more. For Courtney Carver, this constant striving had to come to a stop when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Stress was like gasoline on the fire of her symptoms, and it became clear that she needed to root out the physical and psychological clutter that were the source of her debt and discontent. In this book, Carver shows us how to pursue practical minimalism so we can create more with less - more space, more time, and even more love.

We work to the point of extreme exhaustion. Everyone is just too rushed, hurried, and stressed. We alleviate our stress by shopping for more stuff, binge eating, and engaging in time-wasting activities. We fill our lives with needless activities, relationships, and clutter. This makes us lose sense of who we really are and what’s important to us. This is the reason why the Japanese people have developed a lifestyle that strips away the inessential things in their lives. It’s called minimalism. In this audiobook, you’ll hear proven strategies on how to practice minimalism.

Every day, we make hundreds of small actions without even thinking about them. Pulling out our smartphones, clicking the one-click purchase button, pulling down to refresh the social media feed, and more. Automatic actions that have become so deeply programmed into our lives that we don't have the chance to stop and ask ourselves a very important question: Do I actually want to do this right now?

Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing guru like Marie Kondo - he's just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn't absolutely need. The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new focus, and a real sense of gratitude for everything around him.

Most of us know we own too much stuff. We feel the weight and burden of our clutter, and we tire of cleaning and managing and organizing. While excess consumption leads to bigger houses, faster cars, fancier technology, and cluttered homes, it never brings happiness. Rather, it results in a desire for more. It redirects our greatest passions to things that can never fulfill, and it distracts us from the very lives we wish we were living. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Let's start your minimalism to de-clutter your life and be happier; dogma-free and with the pure essentials only. Did you know that you can apply minimalism to books too? It is harder for the author to write those, but much easier for you, the listener, to learn and use the essentials directly without wading through content and getting lost - getting lost means you will not take action. And taking action is THE crucial step you need to do.

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, real women with real families who are constantly growing and changing simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is a home that is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

Publisher's Summary

What would you focus on if you were no longer weighed down by your unwanted responsibilities? If you want to add something meaningful to your life, like traveling to exotic places, composing beautiful music, or experiencing a new friendship in a foreign language, you will need to figure out how to eliminate other things from your daily routine. Your time and money are not infinite so if you want to add something important to your life, there is no way to avoid removing something else. Unfortunately, these types of eliminations are very difficult to implement as they require removing something from your life that is already there for a specific reason. To make room for your passions are you going to sleep less? Are you going to spend less time with your family? Are you going to expend less energy at work? These are hard and often unrealistic trade-offs to make. The Minimalist Mindset is a book about a realistic process you can use to make deliberate decisions about how to prioritize how you live your life. This book walks you through the habits you can implement to consistently make sustainable trade-offs so that you can prioritize your passions and retake your freedom.

Life Changing Strategies for Efficient Living

This book is fantastic for anyone looking to de-clutter their life. The author delivers strategies to live more, do what you want to do more and how to do it all with less. His stories of successful implementation of this 'less is more' strategy and candid disclosure of his personal struggles to get there are cleanly delivered in bite-size chunks.

From a full life overhaul to a few minor adjustments and new habits, this book has something for everyone. For those looking for something more in-depth, he backs his strategies up with additional online resources.

As a self help book junkie, not all of the ideas are new but the strategies to get there are clean, methodic and concisely delivered. A++, Mr. Dover.

Excellent Advice For Minimizing Your Life

The Minimalist Mindset was a great listen. There were many, many tips and suggestions of ways to cut down, cut back and reduce your living, whether it be at the office or at home. One of my favorite things in the book was 'donation Sunday' or purging items no longer needed. For every one thing you purchase, get rid of two things. Also the part about books. I have so many physical books and magazines that I have a hard time letting go of. Sage advice in THIS audiobook. Recommended.

Dave Fung's performance was great. He did a wonderful job expressing how this mindset works. An overall excellent and useful listen.

"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this honest review."

The 4-Day Work Week For Your Life

What Tim Ferriss' 4-Day Work Week is to business so to is Danny Dover's Minimalist Mindset to the rest of your life. An excellent well organized book on structuring your life in this increasingly hectic world so you accomplish your goals and not get caught in the minutiae of little details. I can see using this as a guide whereby I constantly reread (or listen) to chapters for guidance.

The Minimalist Mindset

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a lot of good advice on how to reduce your spending and cut back on things. It's a great book on how to declutter your life and stuff. The narrator did a great job.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Nice

enlightening at any age

This book simplfies and organizes the thoughts a lot of us have had. To say the information was new to me may not be as correct as saying I never REALLY thought about it clearly. Knowing that these skills are of value to others and having them clearly outlined is a definite plus in my mission to minimalize and travel. I highly recommend it.
